How to Defeat Basher and Blazer

Learn how to defeat Basher and Blazer in Gotham Knights. This guide covers bomb mechanics, enemy types, and effective strategies for this challenging boss fight.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Basher: Similar to Bulldozer, has molotovs and a shield bash, can also pound the ground for a shockwave. Vulnerable to Heavy Attacks.
• Blazer: More troublesome attacks, including a grab and a sweeping attack. Vulnerable to Heavy Attacks.
• Adds: Regular enemies and Freaks with knives will appear throughout the fight.

Phases:

1. Initial Phase: Disarm one bomb. Fight regular enemies.
2. Boss Phase 1: Basher and Blazer appear with one Freak. Two bombs will arm simultaneously. Clear adds, then focus on one boss.
3. Boss Phase 2: After one boss is defeated, three bombs will arm per cycle. Continue focusing on the remaining boss.
4. Conclusion: Defeat the second boss and disarm any remaining active bombs.

Strategy:

• Before the bosses appear, you must disarm bombs planted in the basement room. If a bomb arms, you have 30 seconds to disarm it, or it's game over.
• After disarming the first bomb, regular enemies will appear. Defeat them.
• Basher and Blazer will then appear, accompanied by a Freak. More Freaks will appear at set points.
• When the bosses appear, two bombs will arm at intervals, with a 30-second limit to disarm both.
• Prioritize defeating the adds first, then concentrate on one of the two bosses.
• Blazer's attacks can be harder to evade, including a grab and a sweeping attack. Fire resistance armor can help but is not essential.
• Basher's molotovs are easily dodged and create attack openings. His shield bash is similar to the Bulldozer's, but he can also pound the ground for a short-ranged shockwave. Dodge away when he runs.
• Use Heavy Attacks to stun both Basher and Blazer.
• Utilize Momentum Abilities frequently.
• Focus on defeating one boss completely before switching attention to the other for better survivability.
• Once one boss is defeated, three bombs will arm per cycle.
• After both bosses are defeated, disarm any remaining active bombs to end the fight.
